The Non-League Football Thread

[ChesterDave]

Just reading about the bolton and bury issues on bbc...

Bolton, meanwhile, had been in administration since May and have found themselves in court at least once a year since 2015.
In 2017, a company which owned more than a third of shares in the club was wound up - and that was after former owner Ken Anderson had reportedly been paid £525,000 in consultancy fees.

I'm sure an addition £125,000 was paid in consultancy fees to a firm owed by a relative of his as well. Nowt dodgy there at all

Its beyond belief that the fa stand back and let these shysters milk the cash cow until there is nothing left then leave it to starve to death.

Buy a club thats massively in debt for just £1 and then further strip it until even the marrow has been sucked out of the bones.

Bromley unbeaten at the top of non-league, Reds top of the real league. Loving this season so far

[Norbs]

Bromley have Aldershot next Saturday in the final qualifying round of the FA Cup

Might go

[Norbs]

Did go

Cracking game ended 4-3. Bromley dominated and Aldershot scored their only chances, plus had one disallowed. Took my step daughter's boyfriend along and think he might have caught the non-league bug

AFC Wimbledon in the first round proper please

Boooooooooooooooooooooo

[Norbs]

Took a decent crowd there, 229. Mullins was your stand out player, seemed most motivated

[Chazza]

Going to be a long season for them.

Sutton and Wrexham shouldn't be down there, Ebbsfleet have yoyoed and I'm not sure about Fylde and Chorley. Fylde had money but maybe momentum has run out.

Fortunately it's quite a tight table at the moment, do you think you've got the resources to stay up?

Fylde were up there last season and they have just sacked Challinor - Its a decent ground is Fylde and they have a half decent squad and should stay up. Chorley, for a part time tam are punching well above their weight, they need a goalscorer who can convert the draws into wins, if they get one of them I think they may just stay up.

After technically going down last season, I’m not sure they have enough about them this season.

Will probably rest on what loan business can be done in Jan.

Was going ok last year until Reading hooked a few back and then it all went to ****.

We've got a fella from Charlton and on his debut I sat next to his girlfriend, which I found out when she looked up from her phone and said 'yay, Alfie' when he came on. Saw her again yesterday and it's nice to get a bit of inside knowledge from a real life WAG.

Apparently he was taking his parents to Gatwick this morning at 3.30am and he didn't fancy playing the whole game as he might get tired

Away to Bristol Rovers as the reward.

[Norbs]

They're 7th in League One, I think they might be the highest placed side we've ever faced. I've seen us against Orient and Gillingham in the first round before but don't think either were that high

[Norbs]

Just did some digging and we lost to Colchester in 2009 in the 1st round, they ended the season 8th in League One
